Our Work Together

“The biggest act of rebellion is to live through your heart in a world designed to make you forget that she exists.”

In a world that demands you think your way through everything, my work is to help you remember how to feel.

Not as sentiment. As a way of knowing.

Because transformation—whether in your life, your art, or your organization—doesn't happen through analysis. It happens when you slow down enough to feel what's actually true, what is alive and trying to be born.

I work at the intersection of depth psychology, creative practice, and systems understanding. I see the world archetypally and symbolically, which means I can often perceive what's trying to emerge before you consciously know it yourself.

It’s not about adding another skill or optimizing your process. It's about remembering the innate intelligence we've been conditioned to repress: the wisdom of the heart—the voice of the soul.

For Individuals

One-on-One Mentoring

You might come to me at a crossroads. Or in the middle of a creative block. Or with the persistent sense that there's more wanting to unfold: more depth, more meaning, more of your soul that wants to live.

We work together to uncover what that is.

My approach is rooted in Jungian psychology and symbolic understanding. Together we read the archetypal patterns underneath your challenges—the ones expressing through your relationships, your work, your recurring dreams, your creative impulses.

Because meaning is everything.

Suffering is often a symptom of a lack of meaning. When we understand the meaning behind our suffering, it becomes easier to move through the challenges we face. Every obstacle on the path is actually serving a greater purpose. It’s only asking to be integrated into your understanding of yourself and the world around you, so that it can become a blessing rather than a burden.

This isn't about becoming perfect. It's a journey of becoming more whole.

Three ways to work together:

  • Clarity Consultation: A single deep-dive session for those at a threshold.

  • Emergence Work: 3-6 sessions for navigating a specific transition (creative, professional, personal).

  • Deep Accompaniment: Ongoing mentorship for sustained inner and creative transformation.

A limited number of sliding-scale sessions are available each quarter for emerging artists.

For Creative Projects

Film, Music & Media

I bring ontological depth to creative work. Whether it's script development, character creation, creative direction, or production, I help projects root in something real that can be felt, not just consumed.

What I offer:

  • Script Consultation & Development: Story structure through an archetypal lens, ensuring narrative resonance at the deepest levels.

  • Character Development: Building characters ontologically from their core wound, desire, and transformation outward (not from personality traits inward).

  • Creative Direction & Production: From concept to completion, integrating vision with the practical realities of bringing projects to life.

  • Symbolic & Archetypal Advisory: For projects that want to work with myth, symbolism, and the unconscious intentionally.

  • Voice & Narration: Lending my voice to projects that align with my creative vision.

I've produced 50+ projects across animation, documentary, live concert, and multimedia. My work has appeared on NBC, VICE, MTV, and in partnership with global brands.

But what I actually bring to a project isn't just technical execution. It’s helping you create work that means something because it has soul. Work where the water of life—feeling—flows freely. That's what transforms craft into gold: work that moves people because it's rooted in what's real.

Speaking & Teaching

Workshops & Lectures

I teach at the intersection of depth psychology and creative practice, helping artists, writers, and cultural leaders access the symbolic and archetypal intelligence that lives beneath conscious thought.

Workshop offerings include:

  • Symbolism & archetypes in storytelling

  • Character creation from an ontological foundation

  • Writing as a practice of feeling (not just craft)

  • The creative process as individuation

  • Reading cultural & creative patterns archetypally

Each workshop is designed not just to impart technique, but to open pathways to feeling and help you trust it as your primary creative intelligence.

Available for educational institutions, cultural organizations, film schools, and creative communities.

Organizational Work

I occasionally work with organizations, including leadership teams in creative industries, mission-driven institutions, and cultural spaces in transition. This work applies the same archetypal lens to organizational systems: helping groups see the patterns underneath their challenges and realign with what is trying to emerge.

If you're an organization interested in this approach, inquire directly.

Investment

This work is premium not because of cost but because of commitment. It requires a readiness and willingness to go beneath the surface and meet what awaits.

The question is only the surface.

The answer awaits in the depths.
